[rancid wasp]

it´s soo good

[random gate]

its really good

[lilac sage]

Awww. Thank you @rancid wasp and @random gate ☺️

[random gate]

nvm

ur just really good

[muted heath]

Yes, very authentic. I won't put it any closer than North American, as it's subtle between West Coast and Canadian. Probably also because you can emulate a british pronunciation on your words. It's very very good.

[half thicket]

Can anyone send any paragraph so I can record an audio while reading it? After reading it I would like to send it to the same person in private to judge my accent if its possible.

[sick ledge]

the american accent is good but british accent needs some work

[heady viper]

@muted heath
Can you give me something to read too I'll send it to you in dm so you tell me what you think about it

[half thicket]

check ur dm

[river lance]

hey everybody. 👋
it's been a while since I uploaded a judge-my-accent voice record, your feedback is always valuable to me, thanks in advance.

[green crescent]

@river lance bro it's really good.

[shrewd stone]

What did you do to have this pronunciation?

[muted heath]

Hi Clare. Good overall accent. You can pronounce 'th' as i heard it within words, but on 2 words it was a bit of a 'd' sound when it occurred at the start.

I'm not sure if the name of the person. It sounded like "Athan" . If it was "Ethan", then you need to change the sound of the first letter from

To

.

[lilac sage]

@muted heath @sick ledge Thanks a lot for the feedback 🥹

[river lance]

I see, yeah right I noticed my "Ethan" sounded like "Athan", thank you very much, I appreciate your help, and for the "th" sound, I can't help it 😂, I pronounce it similar to the "d" sound when I speak fast.

[river lance]

thanks bro, I appreciate you. 🤍

[river lance]

I simply mimic, but I pay close attention to the details as much as I can.

when I watch a youtube video, or a movie, I try to repeat what the speaker said often.

[woven abyss]

give me a page to read

[river lance]

I'll try to rectify my "th" sound though.

[lean lava]

Hi, Guys! Are there any particular tools or websites that help us improve our pronunciation?

[lean lava]

What a great feedback. Mind sharing where I can find similar charts to those you have provided?

[muted heath]

I placed the site under the picture. It has the sound also, so you can click on them.

[craggy widget]

When you use charts like this, it's best to know that some of the IPA symbols dictionaries use in slashes have very different sounds as actual phonetic IPA symbols compared to what we use in real life

For example "food" will be written /fu:d/ in 90% of dictionaries that use IPA

But no native uses the vowel [u] in "food"

For the majority of natives it's really very different to [u:], and if you use the sound you hear from http://www.ipachart.com when you press the u button, it's not going to sound natural

Similar story for many other symbols (also dependent on dialect)

IPA like /fu:d/ in dictionaries only becomes useful when you've already learned to make whatever sound /u:/ represents in the dialect you're learning

[shrewd stone]

Thanks

[odd briar]

Hi. Can you judge my accent I know I am just a beginner but I need it for my current job.

[real flume]

Ty so much

[muted heath]

I pressed the sound until i found the sound i was hearing and the sound i believed was used. I did not choose the written form. I listened to a bunch of the sounds and u: does sound like how i pronounce food, or is the closest sound at least. I agree that the sounds generally are all very strange on their own, like some "Mr Monopoly" character getting punched in the stomach.

[craggy widget]

I extend my condolences to Mr. Monopoly, who clearly has been through an awful lot

[craggy widget]

(there's a very good but quite long video on this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtnlGH055TA, talking about (south-eastern) British English but with plenty of points that apply generally)

The response to what you said is more or less the 1st minute of my rec, the rest is there if anyone wants more context/explanation

[muted heath]

I kept raising my finger to type but then there was more. My poor mind is not used to such long strings of words being spoken.

[muted heath]

I believe i know what you are saying. I agree within my mind that there differences when pronouncing 'o' in gold or goat (or when pronouncing any word). I also however listened to your initial example and while you were trying to say the 'official' sound of 'o' in food did but sound that way, i did heard it that way as you spoke it. I also believe i provide that sound also. I therefore believe the sounds are beneficial when learning a word.

However your continuing message, I believe is correct also, to the point I have in mind, in that there are differences when used in words. My understanding of the differences is that each sound has a base starting point, and this is then modified at its beginning and at its end by adjacent sounds within the word being spoken. Without this modification, the (in use/accented) pronunciation of the whole word can go bad. The modification is caused by the transition of mouth/muscle from one sound to the next, and this produces the modified full pronunciation of a word.

[arctic inlet]

Why do irl people have trouble understanding my English?

I often have to repeat, and they ironically understand better when I use a strong Hong Kong accent...

[full patrol]

I don't know how to explain this, but they're used to saying things in that kind of way, so they understand it when you say it with a strong accent. The same thing happens here; I have to intentionally mispronounce words so the person in front of me understands, either because they're not used to hearing it said correctly or they're just not used to it

[arctic inlet]

I'm in the UK though...

[full patrol]

then i have no idea what the fuck is wrong with those people 😭

oh

then maybe your english is just not super understandable

send a record sometime

[stray depot]

your accent is great but at 9 seconds it becomes hard to understand because you're speaking too fast and the words sound jumbled

just slow down a little, otherwise you sound great

[quasi fog]

Can y’all judge my accent through me texting

[finite sapphire]

no

[quasi fog]

Dang it

[full patrol]

You have a Scottish accent

Really?

[full patrol]

yes

[river lance]

Can someone tell me 1-100% my progress with the american accent?

I do some medical stuff for a hobby, so that's why it's a bit nerdy

[river lance]

I don't know if this is still good "accent wise", I'm tryna do a southern Oklahoma accent. Please tell me how bad it is, or how hard to understand it is. I promise I won't get mad y'all

[muted heath]

Definitely American accent. Definitely not English accent.

[muted heath]

I'm my mind, i would say you are getting what you want. It's mid us for sure.

[pastel radish]

Judge my accent

[muted heath]

You have an accent. (Sorry, I'm starting to adjust my opinion on what an accent is or what one is supposed to say to such a question). It's not English and it's not really north American in my opinion. I placed it according to accents i have heard, close to South Pacific islands - New Zealand ( less the specific sounds of fushnchup etc) all the way to Hawaii. Why that is so with your voice, I do not know. Perhaps you have an Asian/Pacific mother language. I'm frequently known to be way off... But perhaps you can enlighten me for future reference with other folks.

The are a few words that are hard to understand, but it's just pronunciation, not necessarily the accent.

[muted heath]

That has s north American accent to it. Clear and passible.

"While it is unlikely that unethical

[hollow whale]

Guys, good afternoon/evening/morning. I did a test to check my level of English and it's pretty good, C1. But there's one aspect at fault, my speaking, it isn't exactly bad, more like it's understandable, although it sounds like the words blend to each other, it wasn't that necessary for me to develop a perfect speaking. This is probably because i didn't have anyone to practice this aspect of my english with, would a routine consisting of reading books out loud, one or more times a day, be good?

[clever drum]

Judge my accent

[rancid rain]

Good American accent

[rancid rain]

Ireland

[rancid rain]

yes I am

[rancid rain]

I think improving your pronunciation is better than copying an accent

yeah but fake accents are very weird sounding to an average English speaker

unless you live in the country

for quite a long time

if my friends who learned English started using a big American accent I would find it very hard to talk them

[stray depot]

I wouldn't say that the accents I've heard are fake, but I've heard many accents that were hard to decipher, and I still remember someone said to me "you're a native speaker so you should be able to understand them"

[rancid rain]

most English speakers would think someone's natural accent with good pronunciation sounds better than a good fake accent

[full patrol]

do the conor mcgregor accent 🔥

[rancid rain]

even if the fake accent is good it's quite weird

[stray depot]

Any accent is good as long as it's easy to understand. I find it sad if people try to perfect it because I think accents are very beautiful and English has leeway for that, but its less appreciated for valid reasons most of the time

(aside from fake ones..as y'all mentioned)

[rancid rain]

any accent not acquired from living in the country a long time I would consider fake

a lot Dutch people try learn English with an American accent

of*

[full patrol]

Fair enough

@rancid rain wanna judge my accent?

[rancid rain]

yeah

ignore the slim shady voice thingy that i did i was talking about something

okay

take your time

[rancid rain]

there are generally agreed upon pronunciation rules, natural accents are really unique and pretty imo

hearing someone speak English with an accent they are trying to learn is kind of like hearing an AI speak, even if it has good pronunciation

fake irish accents sound horrible

water pronounced properly has no global stop

and no drawl

[rancid rain]

Well if you are copying an accent it's stereotypical

quite good American accent

it does sound kind of nasally but that's fine

[full patrol]

[rancid rain]

I don't think it's an issue

[full patrol]

any other issues?

you can nitpick yk

[rancid rain]

um

only general thing about

English learners copying American accents

but it's a good American accent

[full patrol]

im kinda copying eminem

since i like that mf so much

[rancid rain]

he's pretty hype

yeah

start making Eminem covers or smth

[full patrol]

i can rap his songs

not all of them but a good chunk of them

word for word

it does help with fluidity when speaking yk

thanks for the feedback btw 🥰

[hollow whale]

My accent isn't close to British or Australian, sounds like an american. But because i didn't spoke it repeatedly and got used to it, some of the words seem to not be understantable. Although if i recreate a strong accent, like a russian one it becomes a little bit easier.

Ty, i'll try to gather some courage to enter a vc and train it

[muted heath]

It doesn't need judging. And it's fine English.

If you were in Cleveland, i'd assume you were American.

[muted heath]

Reading aloud and conversing are two different mental skills. Reading will let you practice words the you see and make the corresponding sounds translating from memory into your native mind, but conversing requires pulling together words and grammatical rules from your memory that are correct translations of what you want to say from your native thinking mind. Both are skills you need to perfect but reading aloud will not get you the same practice you need to converse. This will only happen if you converse with others.

You can of course read a question from a book, and then say the answer aloud, as long as you don't read any part of your answer. Open questions that require you to provide a little speech and needing to think as you talk are ideal. One sentence answers to a particular grammar rule are not ideal. (A person listening ideally gives feedback in the way of conversation)

Conversing also though requires listening. You need to listen to people talking so that you can translate on the fly and understand quickly what is being said. Often this is well practiced because it's easy to find things to listen to, but speaking about topics that you are given is harder to do.

While I'm at it, writing is the 4th mental skill. Many people can read a language better than they can write it, because the writing is usually ignored over reading. People who self teach and learn by themself tend to be able to read first, listen, and then speak and write. Formal education ensures all 4 areas are covered together so it's evenly learned.

[muted heath]

Most English accents are usa+native, uk+native, aus+native, nz+native, sa+native. One could say anyone who speaks English will have one of the 4 primary sounds obvious in their voice and that will depend on the teachers that you learn English from. Some countries will teach one accent prominent over another, Japan/Korea tend to the a usa accent, and Northern European countries tend towards ukrp accents. If you end up learning by living in usa/uk/aus etc then you will have that accent and people from other parts of the world will say oh i hear ..., but within those countries, the natives will hear your underlying accent. Some native accents are obvious usually where large numbers if people come from a particular region. But for people from countries where a listener rarely hears anyone, they may know there is an underlying accent but won't know what it is.

Long residency in an English speaking country will give the best results for a 'natural native' English accent, but many people will hold the original accent their whole life. Sure, listen and learn your preferred usa/uk accent, but don't get upset that people (in that country) still know you are from somewhere else based on your original accent. For the billions of people outside of usa/uk who also speak English as a second language, they will more than likely think you have a great usa/uk accent and wouldn't be able to differentiate it from a native. Be proud of where you come from. Your accent will be a conversation starter, that will help you through your life when you meet new people and are lost for words.

[hollow whale]

Ty for the explanation and advices.

I agree a lot with the last thing u said, i learned it by myself and if i hadn't i'd probably never know a single word in English, there is no need for it here, so even though i did manage to learn it i couldn't develop it to its fullest because of the lack of stimulus, i actually think i never spoke in English with anyone besides myself xD

[muted heath]

The are plenty of voice rooms here to sit in and random chat with people. Give it a go.

[hollow whale]

I'll give it a try, xD

[muted heath]

Yes

[stiff frigate]

What a meaning of "Beat out of" ?

[gloomy snow]

can you give some more context?

maybe the full sentence

[finite sapphire]

some people say "beat the h#ll out of someone" which means "beat someone up so strongly that it hurts a lot"

or "beat the sh#t out of someone" which is more vulgar

[muted heath]

Yes. All of your clips are perfect imitations of the anime voices you are copying, right down to the subtle Japanese undertones of the voice actors providing the English soundtracks.

[muted heath]

You perfect the copy of the voices so well. The actual english speakers of the anime are Japanese with Their English being excellent but still tainted with a little native accent. You pick this up from them.

in all your voices

[muted heath]

yes for sure, but you do the voices well regardless

i can just imagine the anime with your voices]

This is really impressive! I don't know what your first language is or how long you've been studying English but you have very very good and clear pronunciation with just a hint of an accent but I think if I met you in person I'd just think it was an accent (an English one) from somewhere else in the world.

You also did a great job with the acting in your voice, you should look into voice acting 🤣

Can anyone give me feedback on my American accent attempt?

[finite sapphire]

am not knowledgeable about accents so i think i cant, but i can say i like your voice for some reason lol

[muted heath]

I think at this stage you are speaking clearly, and its understandable. It is a little difficult to say at this stage if you are swaying either towards a British or a North American style accent. This may have to do with the slower speed and care to which you are applying to your speech.

[somber vault]

Thank you. I just sent it. Sorry if my voice is annoying. I'll delete the record after I get some corrections (like stress, or words that needs to be accentuated in sentences) I need 🙏

[muted heath]

The following words were slightly off in their pronunciation. Severely, Contribute, thought, devote, live, Brown, cash, rick-rack. Reading aloud can cause occasional pronounciation issues, so don't be concerned. You did well with everything else. Maybe take a little longer of a pause at the end of each sentence and at commas, to take a breath.

And excuse

[dense wave]

I wonder how my accent sounds like to others, any words will be appreciated.

[muted heath]

It's was generally well spoken. I think one of your vowels was stretched or held a little longer then i would think they need to be, book was where i heard it most. You: boo-k, perhaps: buk

[dense wave]

thank you peo

[somber vault]

Wow that you so much for your corrections🔥

[somber vault]

I got two questions that I've been curious about it too. Overall, is it still understandable? And do you think my accent is weird?

[lime pilot]

when you speak by yourself you sound more naturally

[lime pilot]

well about your accent while you're reading. you sound like you don't know what you're reading about or you don't know how to pronounce it right, with the right intonation. what I mean is it sounds like you read just some words as if it's not sentence.

pronunciation of words overall is good

[lime pilot]

hmm I can see you tryna learn american english I have a resource that prolly might help you improve your pronunciation

@somber vault https://deepenglish.com/blog/page/22/ you might give it a try

choose any text you like, and there will also be an audio with different speed of reading

if you wanna see different page just change the number 22 to any in range [1,22] and don't forget to put '/' at the end or it might not work

[somber vault]

Wow that's so true. Yes, I just compared the way I read and how native read like in the link you shared

[somber vault]

How can you know lol

[somber vault]

Thank you. I needed this

[lime pilot]

you're welcome

[muted heath]

Reading aloud will always sound strange. Even i was finding it hard to do. It's because you try and read exactly to be perfect, and it makes a person nervous. I tried and was misreading words, skipping words, and then i would get even worse. You're introduction was perfect, that part where you just spoke your mind and introduced that you found the passage to read. This was natural and shows the difference between just speaking and reading aloud. I am slightly better at reading aloud when people are not following the text, as it can hide the inconsistencies, therefore less nervousness.

@somber vault

[somber vault]

I get it. Thank you peo for answering my questions again. Actually at my current level of English, being understood by others would be more important than being perfect.

you know what id like to hear you read out loud?

"In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bile of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer." corny as shit but i feel like your voice is perfect for this

idk why

[full patrol]

How close?

the intonation was incorrect, in the japanese part

[magic crown]

ausie with a touch of midwestern american

[sacred badger]

Greetings my fellow accent learners

So in the American accent they usually drop the T with the D sound

How do i know if this word should be pronounced with a T or a D sound, because when you use Google translator and type "about" the T is present but when you type "about it" the T is flap, so what's the key secret here to remember the correct usage of both sounds.

[craggy widget]

It's a flap in the 2nd phrase because it's been put between 2 vowels

T & D become flapped when they're between vowels (but this effect is blocked if there's rising syllable stress within the word at that point)

[sacred badger]

"At that point" was the T flap there ?

Or not

Since it's not between 2 vowels

[craggy widget]

None of those 3 ts would be flapped no

[craggy widget]

Bc of this

It would be very difficult to make them flaps

[sacred badger]

Wader
A lo off
Beder
Sord off

Interesting stuff

Thansk alc

[craggy widget]

Np

[craggy widget]

The thing to watch for is that stress matters in this way

So e.g. you cannot flap the t in "eternal", "hotel", "rotation"

"atom" yes, but "atomic" no

Bc in these words, the syllable before the t is unstressed, and then the stress rises. eTERnal, hoTEL, roTAtion, aTOmic. That prevents the flap

There are many different British accents. Here is a video briefly but broadly covering the accents of England: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU8uenMGt_o&ab_channel=DaveHuxtable . This doesn't include Welsh, Scottish, or Northern Irish accents. Hope this helps you find something more precise.

@silk aurora It is so nice to see you here

I've just joined the server

[muted heath]

Almost everyone's speech is affect by their native tongue. There is nothing wrong with this happening. It is not easy to completely remove a base accent. Sometimes it's not about the scent, but just how you have learned a word. If you post a recording of a short passage here, people can help by identifying some of the sound you may be making incorrectly, or at least can improve on. For they most part, people speaking here who comes from Egypt generally are pretty well understood and the promising is good. If this is not the case with you, then the week be plenty of people here to help you with this.

putting your pronunciation against a grader your doing quite great only thing you can improve is on is "samsung" which is pronounced in IPA from as sæmˌsəŋ while you said sænd sən as well as "What" and "Where"

[pallid garnet]

about a 7/10.. You had a lot of good fluent runs but there were a lot of times where you fumbled back to your og accent. (where the accent fainted china, first, only, years, actor, "weren't a lot of foreigners") ( the ending was very good, when you spoke the questions was very clear too )

[muted heath]

A late response from me, At the beginning I thought you sound like other brazilians I have heard speaking English, but thought I cant hear UK, nor North American, but at the end I could hear the British influence. The overall sound though is mild British, and I would say you would fit in well with Australia pronunciation wise.

[muted heath]

Your English is clear and completely understandable. You do pronounce some words unlike native speakers, but it is still ok, it just indicates you are still influenced by your own mother language. I would say its predominantly, "o"s and "ou"s that stand out in all words with these in them. Also the "th" sounds more like "d" in all the cases I could hear.🥳

You have a fine Canadian accent forming. You speak English very well. Just keep talking. Don't be concerned with 'accent'. You are fine.

[muted heath]

Try reducing your frequency/pitch to less than 15khz. The mosquito accent is probably not best used.

[plucky beacon]

The cat (Felis catus), commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae. Recent advances in archaeology and genetics have shown that the domestication of the cat occurred in the Near East around 7500 BC. It is commonly kept as a house pet and farm cat, but also ranges freely as a feral cat avoiding human contact.

I am too abashed to listen to my own voice 😳

I feel this is getting awkward

[finite sapphire]

"occured" gave me british vibes

a bit

[plucky beacon]

Well, at least there is a silver lining.

what is a vibe?

[finite sapphire]

"the" was not perfect but i myself do not do that in a fully correct way so i get this

[finite sapphire]

by saying "it gave me british vibes" i meant "it sounded a little bit like some british accent"

[plucky beacon]

Oh no 😱

[timid thistle]

Can native speakers clarify if the soft palate is always closed in speaking except when making n,m or ng sound. Like u never exhale even a bit from nose cus I’m facing difficulty in it.

[plucky beacon]

What do you mean by this? I just listened to it myself and I think it was quite good also considering how bad the audio quality is.

[finite sapphire]

i did not mean it was bad, it was not, i just feel as if it, idk, lacked something, this is just my tiny feeling

not sure about that so you can just ignore that, dont worry

[plucky beacon]

It lacked a feeling 💀

[finite sapphire]

lmao not this way

[plucky beacon]

Should I try again then?

[finite sapphire]

doesnt matter, you did well

nah its very clear anyway

[plucky beacon]

well is not good enough

[finite sapphire]

definitely good enough

[plucky beacon]

I am going for sublime and superb

good enough is definitely not good enough, it has to be perfect

[finite sapphire]

throughout all my times when i talked in english there has not been a single time i spoke flawlessly through the entire conversation, so, maybe dont push yourself too hard, good luck, anyway

[plucky beacon]

but

[plucky beacon]

who else would like to judge this accent?

[river lance]

Your voice reminds me of someone, but it's very good! i can hear you very clearly

[arctic inlet]

it’s really good!!!

[arctic inlet]

i think the reason why it lacked something is simply because he's not fluent enough, he kinda sounds as if he's careful not to pronounce anything wrong, just train up the speed and he'll sound literally like a native in no time

[magic acorn]

can i speak too ?

[lunar steeple]

You have my permission

go ahead

[cinder tundra]

Waww i like the voicee

[plucky beacon]

thank you 💀

[plucky beacon]

Well if most, if not everybody, judges my accent to be: at least better than bad; then the pinned task has been accomplished but this means that there are more free points to get so shouldn't I try again? What should I say? Who would like to judge?

[plucky beacon]

So wouldn't anybody else want to judge my accent?

[arctic inlet]

I wish I could but honestly your accent is so good that I don't know how to comment😭

The only advice I can give is to keep training up your talking speed and fluency

[craggy widget]

There's not much to say yeah. It's almost completely native-sounding and very close to my own accent :). There are only a few things:
- "commonly" has the vowel of "lot", not the vowel of "strut" (both times)
- "Near" sounded like "nyear"; the word should start the same as "nick", and then you either just make the vowel longer or you glide it to schwa
- "It is" definitely was a d
The last 2 points are very minor and probably wouldn't be noticed. Overall you go quite slowly and pause somewhat frequently but plenty of natives read less smoothly than that, so it's up to you how bothered you are there lol

[arctic inlet]

It's a terrible recording from a year ago but I'm kinda curious how you guys think about my first ever British accent attempt (yes this is a British imitation 😭)

[craggy widget]

It's completely understandable, so no problem there

It's just, aside from successfully avoiding the -r, it's not very British

sorry :/

In general though, ignoring Britishness, you might want to make sure you keep the a sound of words like "had" different from words like "head". Where you said "haven't had the advantages that you've had", it came out more like "haven't head the advantages thet you've hat"

Also weak form "that"

In both of those places, "that" is most naturally said with schwa (the weak vowel in about, potato, album...) instead of rhyming with "hat"

(btw "advantages" ends like "bridges", not like "ages", English moment)

[arctic inlet]

I'll keep these in mind🫡 thank you for the comments

[arctic inlet]

It's ok honestly I don't find it any close to British either lmao, I was still on my first month of actually trying to improve my accent and pronunciation

[muted heath]

No buts

[muted heath]

It was very nice. Very clear. Well spoken. British accented. A tiny bit slow, but fine considering you are going for a perfect speech.

[narrow heath]

Have at it

Dogs, descendants of ancient wolves domesticated thousands of years ago, have evolved alongside humans through a remarkable process of selective breeding. Their genetic diversity spans an array of shapes, sizes, and temperaments, resulting in a multitude of breeds with distinct physical qualities.

The paragraph I read ^

I just realised I’ve mispronounced “diversity”. And the intonation is horrible overall.

I just dropped my first ep and I wonder whether I sound American or not. Anyway, lemme know you guys think about the music and the accent. Thanks!

Look at my user

[river lance]

Just make a post on threads with voice... It'll automatically transcript it.

[fickle laurel]

Not sure if I understand

[river lance]

Instagram threads.... Threads.net

[fickle laurel]

Thanks. I will look into it

[weak tendon]

can yall judge my accent?

[agile compass]

[gleaming ridge]

You have to be on mobile to send a voice message! ^^

[long turret]

i don't judge anyone by their voice!

[sage bloom]

OMAYGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

this channel exists

[finite sapphire]

I think you can just use the voice recorder in your phone, and later simply copy-paste here the text you were reading in that recording. Or maybe type it as you said it in the recording. This would mean you send the recording and the text separately, but I think this is not what you wanted. So, if you can get some screen recorder app, or you have it built-in on your phone, you could type that text into some note app and then screen record it, while you speak. Then this would mean the screen recorder records the screen and the voice at the same time, which would result in having one video, similar to how @arctic inlet had it

[fickle laurel]

Wow that gave me an idea!! Thanks. Will try it soon. Use voice note in the discord is pretty frustrating

[median dagger]

like your bioligical father

hes not your real dad

[finite sapphire]

you can ping me once you poste it, if you want, i don't always view this channel so maybe id see then

[plucky beacon]

Could somebody please judge my accent (again)??? 😭🙏 But also choose a text to say??

[river lance]

Very well said. I noticed only a couple of words which are problematic, such as 'leads' which you pronounced like 'lids', and 'completely' you seemed to struggle with. Overall, I'm impressed with your pronounciation.

[river lance]

Very good accent. It's almost like you're really a goat.

[river lance]

The word 'effective' isn't quite right, but I understood from context what was said.

When you said "small talk gets friendships started", it sounded like you said "gats" instead of "gets", so I would tweak that.

Later, you pronounced "important" in a way that was a little difficult to understand, so I would also work on that pronounciation. Remember, you can practice tricky words by breaking them down phonetically or by their syllables.

"Small talk is ..." something? I actually couldn't tell what word followed 'is'. It sounded like 'blizin'.

You said "about common interest", but you probably meant either "about a common interest" or "about common interests".

Again, overall, I'm impressed.

[river lance]

You pronounced diversity find. You can pronounce the initial part like you did or like 'die'-versity. Possibly a dialectal thing, but either is perfectly valid.

Great stuff, BTW.

[finite sapphire]

i have a theory

"Small talk is..."

the "blizin" like word might have been supposed to be "pleasant"

it does not sound like pleasant, of course, but if i somehow consider the context and that someone might just confuse the sounds inside of this word, then thats possible

I somehow feel so happy of my guess, lol. Maybe because I've been playing it few times now and trying to figure this one out

[arctic inlet]

I can speak rather fluently by myself at times, but whenever I talk to someone else my English is so damn broken even though it’s my second month in the UK and I’m speaking English for like 80-85% of the time. What should I do to solve this?

[finite sapphire]

maybe it is not broken and the only person who thinks it is, is you

[arctic inlet]

nah seriously it’s way worse

[finite sapphire]

someone told you that, then?

[arctic inlet]

no but it’s obviously worse

[finite sapphire]

ah i see, maybe just stress and stuff, dont worry, i also often forget a lot or mess up stuff cuz am so, hm, unorganized when i speak

[arctic inlet]

it feels as if i suddenly forgot how to pronounce every english sound and i keep using sounds in my native language to replace it instead no matter how hard i try

and when I try to force an American accent in front of people their response is always “huh?”

[arctic inlet]

ah i see, guess i’ll have to use much more time to get used to speaking the language

[finite sapphire]

i have no idea honestly, but i think you are just stressed, more or less, and you get confused

[arctic inlet]

ah okay

[finite sapphire]

am thinking about this and ive no other idea, like you know how to speak and thats undeniable, but you kinda get messy, it sounds as if the explanation was in your head

like, the stress, would be the explanation

[fickle laurel]

Thank you very much! I will look into how to pronounce those words correctly. I have been interacting with a friend from the UK and I guess I got it from him when it comes to words that contains t, like impor'an, comple'ely, bri'ish, wa'er, etc... but I will try to get back to the t sounds.. cuz I know what my friend says is used in informal communication

[fickle laurel]

Do u know some apps that can be installed on phone that I can look into to practice pronunciation?

[fickle laurel]

Yes that's right. I tried to say pleasant

[jagged ferry]

is this real

[plucky beacon]

I know one

[plucky beacon]

This app: https://m.apkpure.com/voicehacker-accents/uk.co.voicehacker.app.practicewords

[river lance]

Oh, that's fair. I'm British myself, so to me it's normal to avoid 't' in some works, but I'm not sure that's quite the issue I felt I picked up on.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any such apps.

[sage bloom]

you mean biological?

jokes on you, I grew up without a father

well, I do have a step dad

[tribal spade]

Hi

Hi

Hi

[river lance]

Just a tip for you all:

If you're struggling to pronounce a word clearly, simply break it down into its syllables. So, 'completely' is comprised of 3 syllables, com-ple-[te]ly, where the letters within the brackets are not pronounced in British English or some of our accents.

But, you can break it down further. Isolate specific parts which you struggle with. Get phonetic, if you need to. Really slow down when you pronounce tricky parts, until you've isolated the sounds and mouth movements you find difficult. Then practice.

[finite sapphire]

i have a tiny tip too, silly, but it works for people who happen to have nasal speech or partially blocked nose: before speaking/pronouncing take a deep breath but through your mouth, this allows the sound to come out of throat, and fixes nasality

[median dagger]

Fuck

Hello.. I got a project assignment to make an instruction video for my English course, may I ask you guys to rate me and my friend's accents?

https://youtu.be/UtIAGJfAR-k?si=CI3qKEu5cHGW0O1P

[dim fable]

What happened

What was it I'm curious

[versed raptor]

I can’t say on here.😵‍💫
Ask Vivek. 😁

[river lance]

I'm boredas fuck

[river lance]

Some things speak like that? I might be missing some context here, but I found it a little tricky to understand. Also, I think I heard Minecraft. 😆 Were you knocking down blocks of soil? 😛

[river lance]

Fuck my English is shi literally

Why no one understands me

"So eventually, some things speak like that... something as... is to speak like that... isn't it... [something] action."

That's what I caught, which is quite a lot. I don't think your English is s**t. 🙂

You might be confusing something with someone. The word 'someone' is for an unspecified person.

[river lance]

I feel your pain

[river lance]

Is there something like the "... quick brown fox ..." sentence but for phonemes instead of letters of the alphabet?

[oblique crypt]

If you search up English pangrams it’s pretty much what you’re lookin for 👌

*phonetic pangrams

[river lance]

Ah that was the word

much appreciated, uhhh bear emoji lookin person

[oblique crypt]

No problem doom lookin man ✨✨

[river lance]

The beige hue on the waters of the loch impressed all, including the French queen, before she heard that symphony again, just as young Arthur wanted.

Go on, judge

[oblique crypt]

You woulda convinced me tbh, only thing I’d change would be if you’re going for an American accent we just say loch like lock other than that you sound like a native 👌👌

Hi fellows. I have recorded myself reading a few passages from a novel called Animal Farm by George Orwell, and I would like you to judge my accent and to provide feedbacks on it. Thanks in advance.

[finite sapphire]

i guess am kinda old for that a bit but i listened to it and you have a very relaxing voice, so calm and pleasant

timestamp 3:13 sounded a tiny bit bizzare to me, you sounded like "sayd" which was close enough but its not really "said"

[finite sapphire]

and youve got my sub and like, i dont watch youtube too much since i dont even use social media except for discord, but definitely very relaxing and soothing

[teal iris]

Hehe thankiuuu so muchh. Nah you’re def not old!

[teal iris]

Alright thankiuu for the comment! I’ll jot down and improve it ☺️🥰😉

[finite sapphire]

you're welcome, i kinda tried to guess your accent, but am not sure tbh, aren't you indonesian, somehow? you have some british influence in it but you dont seem to be a native ofc

[teal iris]

Hahahaha close enough but i’m actually Malaysian!

[finite sapphire]
